Bears kicker Cairo Santos bookended the fourth quarter with a missed field goal and a botched kickoff that contributed to the Vikings’ 27-24 come-from-behind win Monday night at Soldier Field.

“I definitely felt like I didn’t help the team in every opportunity I got today,” Santos said. “That’s always going to bother me.”

On the first play of the fourth quarter, Santos pushed a 50-yard field goal wide right. It would have given the Bears a 14-point lead; rather, the Vikings got the ball at the 40-yard line and scored a touchdown six plays later.
